You look beautiful
You're looking good, I haven't seen you for a long time, How've you been? i like the way you have your hair, But something has changed, And i can see a woman in your eyes, and in your smile; Remember when we'd always be together, And we believed this love would never die. And ever since then, I've often wondered how i'd feel if we should meet again, And you look beautiful, you look wonderful, You're like an angel heaven sent to me, You look beautiful, you look wonderful, I've got a feeling this was meant to be, When we broke apart, we both set off to find the world, And face the storms of life, I thought i heard you calling, When your ship hit the rocks, And here we are survivors from the sea Just you and me, out on the beach, If you have time, Lets get a cup of coffee, and talk about, All the feelings that we share, Cos when there's still love, You know it from the moment that you see, Those eyes again; And you look beautiful, You look wonderful, You're like an angel heaven sent to me, You look beautiful, You look wonderful, I've got a feeling this was meant to be, Yes i know it this was meant to be, You look wonderful, Now i know it, this was meant to be; |

A shadow in the moonlight, here she comes to me, We sit and talk about it all, And out in the distance, a dream is over, All i've been working for, This is not how i want you to see me, I have done the best i can, Now the only thing i believe in, Is a woman and a man; You are the reason i'll stay in the fight When i can't take it anymore, You are the reason i wake in the night, And say that i was only dreaming of it all; And now in the dawn light, she talks with me again, Remember all the things we've done Been through the bad times, and we've Seen through the sad times, We're stronger than before; And you picked me up when i was falling, And you gave me back my pride, And you listen when i am calling, And hear the man inside; You are the reason i'll stay in the fight, When i can't take it anymore, You are the reason i wake in the night, And say that i was only dreaming of it all, You are the reason i'll stay in the fight. |

The time has come for me to take my bows and leave the stage,
But I feel I'm just beginning, There's so many things I want to say before I go, But I'll be back, to sing again; And I'll lead you through the ancient halls and stories of the past, And the many ways of loving, And when all is said and done, there's only you and me, You and me... |

When the angry sky, opens up its mouth,
And lays down a belt of rain from the north to the south; Close your windows and close all your doors, And pray for those men who fall upon rocky shores. And when the hungry road, points its finger at your heart, And says "Stranger follow me, I will show you where to start;" Well don't make a move, to the left or the right, or them Hounds are gonna get you, send you running, screaming through The stormy night. And one windy night, a flickering light, caught the eye of A passing angel as she was in flight; she came to the Door, and there she saw a young soldier crying, as he Lay dying from a wound of war. Then the angel of the Lord, took the form of a girl, And knelt by the boy and said "I will help you to that other world Oh rest your weary soul, lay your head upon my shoulder, Press your trembling hand in mine until this night is over, For that Devil wants you, but you are a soldier, and with a Friend by your side there's no need to hide until the fight is over..." Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night. So if you need help, on a windy night, be sure to leave a Candle burning so a friend can see the light; there may be a Stranger come looking for you, and it may be an angel of the Lord come to bring you better news; On a windy night... Na na na na oh Lord on this windy night... Oh hear me, hear me Lord, oh Lord on my windy night... Oh Hear me Lord, oh Lord on my windy night. |

Restless hearts, it has been a long time
Out here on the journey, for a glimps of paradise It's getting hard to find a place to go Where peaceful waters flow I took a walk pas the old Saxon well Down by the cathedral, I heard the chapel bell And joined the people singing, for a way to go Where peaceful waters flow And if you don't know by now, you never will Only love can find the door If you could see it now, it's in your hand Only love can reach the shore, to heaven Always, she is standing by my side She's my insperation and she's my battle cry And in her arms, is the only place I know Where peaceful waters flow And if you don't know by now, you never will Only love can find the door If you could see it now, it's in your hand Only love can reach the shore, forevermore Where peaceful waters flow |

There is something on my mind,
and I'm losing concentration And I feel it everytime, that you are near me. I could tell you all about, your picture at my bedside, I should call you sometime, and talk it over. 'Cos I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too, It just comes from time to time, And it only happens, When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up, when I think of you, walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of You, take me away to a land of mass confusion, And I don't know what to say, when I am near you, I could stand here all day long, just staring at your window, But I have so much to do, that's so important, Then I get a kick inside, and I feel a tingle too, It just comes from time to time, And it only happens, When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up, When I think of you, walking, when I'm talking, when I look up, when I think of You may get the feeling that I'm dancing on the ceiling, When I get a kick inside, and my head is spinning too, It just comes from time to time, And it only happens When I think of You, sleeping, when I'm dreaming, when I wake up, When I think of you, when I whisper to your picture, when I kiss it, when I think of you When I think of you, when I'm dreaming we're together, on my sofa, When I think of you, when I'm wishing that we're kissing, when we're dancing, When I think of you. |

Una mesa para dos, vino tinto de la casa,
Esta noche vaya con amor! This is the place to be on a night like this, The moon is shining on the silver sea where lovers kiss, So many times it was you and me, oh it's good to be here again, It brings back the memories of what you mean to me; This is the way to be on a night so fine, Everybody's on the walking street, with Spanish wine, And then we call into that little place where we had Those long romantic nights, and drink to the memories, And what you mean to me; And it has been such a long old road to where we are today, And just like all the rest there is a price we must pay, But we've been through all the bad times, and we've seen off All the sad times, and here we are, stronger than yesterday; So let's go back to our favourite place, For another long romantic night, And drink to these memories, and what you mean to me; Mas la Plana de Barcelona, Y Rioja, Vega Sicilia, Dos botellas - por favor! So here we are in that little place for another long romantic night, Let's drink to memories, and what you mean to me; Here's to the memories, and what you mean to me.

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here, Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames, And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say, What about me, and you, and the ones that we love, What about me, and you, and the ones that we love, Well what about us? |

Open your throttle, and I'll drive you right out of your mind Watching the waves, watching the sky, I'm just a sitting down here by the riverside, Watching the world going by... She said that she loved me and always be true, But she was high above me, there's only one thing to do, Bye baby baby bye bye little darling, and now she's flying blue, And I'm sitting down here by the riverside, Watching the world passing through... Oh yea yea yea Ram bam bi doo ah... Ram bam bi doo ay.. Do you want to meet my sister, she's good for a drink or two At forty-five smiles to the gallon she can watch the world floating through Throw away your city clothes, throw away your suit, Bring out your city rose, bring the dogs and the cats in the boot, yea yea yea You don't need no shoes, you won't feel the blues, When you're sitting down here by the riverside Watching the world passing through... Oh Ram bam bi doo ah... Ram bam bi doo ay... Roll one for me brother, eighteen inches long, And we can lay down here by the riverside Smoking and singing this song... oh yea Ram bam bi doo ah... Ram bam bi doo ay... Sitting down here by the riverside Watching the world going by... |

Hollywood is such a dream,
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful, A movie man said she could be a star, A beauty queen, or a cover girl, She believes and packs up her things, And the wall of silence begins; Every night was party night, She was everyone's delight, he let her stay, And when he'd had enough, he threw her out, And she found work in a small cafe, When she called they put her on hold, And the wall of silence grows; Give me a break, Give me a break, This is Hollywood, Open the door, Open the door, What am I going to do, When the money runs out, And there isn't any doubt, That I'll have nowhere to go. Hollywood is just a dream, But when you're only seventeen, it's magical, She went home to hide away, She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door, Till the day she smiles and recalls, And the wall of silence falls... |

Up on the hill i see it begin, Marking the heroes where they fall, In the stone, in the stone the names of those who have gone; And over the river, there is a place, Where they remember boys and men, Widows talk, widows talk of all that they could have been; We can hear you, we can hear you whisper our names; We can see you, we can see you reading our names; Up here in heaven, we stand together, Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time, Up here in heaven, we are forever, There is only on god up here, for all of the world; What of the children caught in the war, How can we tell them what it's for, When they cry, when they cry are voices heard anymore? Are you listening, are you listening men of the war? There is nothing, there is nothing worth dying for; Up here in heaven, we stand together, Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time, Up here in heaven, we are forever, There is only one god up here, for all of the world; There is only one god up here, the god of the world. |

Watching seabirds as they fly, On a summer day, on a summer day; And now the sun is here to stay, The winter seems so far away, In the summertime, in the summertime; Sitting here with my love tonight, News is breaking from the south, On the radio, on the radio; Brother lead and sister steel, Are playing out their final scene, On the radio, on the radio; And when you lie beside me soft and quiet in the night, I often listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat giving life, You are so precious to me darling, it will always be that way, Until the final act is over, Until every man has spoken, Until every battle's done, Until the day, Transmission ends, transmission ends; Waiting up for a shadow tonight, Coming in via satellite, From America, from America; Whispers from some far-off place, Are drifting into outer space, From America, from America; And when I see a shooting star go flashing in the night, I often wonder if some other beings also see the light, And are they picking up our signals, As they spin off into space, Until the final act is over, Until every man has spoken, Until every summer's gone, Until every battle's done, Until the day, Transmission ends, transmission ends; Oh don't let it happen, don't let it happen, no, no, Darling, I'm always going to love you, Yes I'm always going to love you, Darling, I'm always going to love you, Until the final day, Until the final hour, I'm always going to be with you, Yes I'm always going to be with you, My love always going to be with you, Until the day comes down, The man is on the radio, "This is station planet Earth, we're closing down, Transmission ends, Station planet Earth is closing down, Transmission ends, transmission ends." |

Down in the jungle, you can hear a rumble,
Way up the Himalayas, in a Mexican bodega, Something is going on, People are coming, running round the world, There's no way to avoid them, they're everywhere, You can see them on the streets of London town; They've found a tourist attraction, It's a bobby on the beat, Yes a tourist attraction, They're all looking at his feet, And the blue rinse ladies, Shooting cameras from the hip, Doing Europe in two days, "We've had a wonderful trip!" And he turns to the Palace, You can almost hear him say, "Your Majesty why don't you tell them, Please go away!" Tourist attraction, tourist attraction, tourist attraction; Caribbean island, cool drink in my hand, Nearest thing to Paradise, the native girls are very nice; Something is going wrong, People are coming, running down the beach, Cameras at the ready, get out of reach, Time to grab my things, I'm heading for the hills; They've found a tourist attraction, Yes my little hideaway It's a tourist attraction, it will never be the same, There's a big bus driver taking money on the side, "Everybody stick together and please follow the guide," And way over yonder, they hear somebody yell, "I came here for the peace and quiet, y'all go to hell!"

Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell, they call it Passchendaele, In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending, the General said this attach will not fail; So I'm writing down this little melody When you play it my love, think of me... We'll be together in this song for you, And it goes Lalala...sing it darling...Lalala... They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there Wounded in some shellhole, They say this war will end all wars, Oh God I really hope it will, Oh how's old England, are they still singing those songs that we loved to sing, When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover, catching fish like we used to with a string, Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so, If they get me my love you will know... We'll always be together in this song for you... And it goes Lalala...I have to go now... take care of yourself my love. |

But we know from those around us, that this may not always be, It's the simple things that come between a father and a son, But when they try to talk, the knives are out before they have begun; Well that was me, and I have seen the light that shines for eternity, Because I learned to say the words "I love you;" So many hearts have been broken by the lies of history, And so many arms are still open for that final mystery; We must show respect for all the rest, and what a man believes, And the one who died upon the cross, well he is the one for me, And he said "Come with me and you will see the light that shines For eternity, be strong and learn to say the words "I love you;" And this endless road that we are on just keeps on going round, But there's one destination that always is here to be found; So come with me, and you will see the light that shines for eternity, Be strong and learn to say the words "I love you," Be strong and learn to say the words "I love you," the words "I love you," The words "I love you," the words "I love you." |

The Vision
And I saw a burning chariot, And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Waiting on high, And I heard the thunder rolling in, And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky; And I saw this land a battlefield, With a hundred thousand men, Fighting hand to hand, And I heard the sounds of victory, And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies; And I, I saw fire from the sky, I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise,) Fire from the sun, I saw fire, And I saw Alpha and Omega; Fire, I saw fire, And I saw paradise, (paradise,) Fire, I saw fire; |

In from the coast
Riding like the wind and racing the moon Shadows on the road Dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool A horseman is coming Death in his heart for a rendezvous And where the traveller goes No-body knows Where the traveller goes No-body knows A Candle in the night Fear on every face when he goes inside Maybe he's on the run Get back from the bar A stranger in town is a dangerous site Maybe he's got a gun Bring a bottle of whiskey Landlord, I wanna talk for a while And where the traveller goes, A cold wind blows Where the traveller goes A cold wind blows There is something in his eyes, Something in his hands You can almost smell his revenge And whoever he is after, it will be disaster This man is gonna take it to the very end Well the landlord he trembled Staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before You laid him in the ground Suddenly remembers A killing, yes a murder many years before twas you that shot him down He said to a boy Saddle me the black I'll meet you down below With this man I must talk With this traveller I'll go With this man I must talk Yes will him I must go There is something in his eyes, Something in his hands I can almost smell his revenge And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster This man is gonna take me to the very end And they were never seen again |

A great lord came walking through the forest
one morning with a weapon in his hand; Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing, but killing was his plan; When a white bird flew by she fell from the sky, Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone; Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again, And standing before him was a lovely young woman with her hand hung in pain, When he saw her his eyes were filled with desire, He said "I must have her, she must be mine, She will be mine..." He offered her silver, he offered her gold, but she threw it on the ground, He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please come with me, what you wish will be found;" she said, "Sire, I'll go if you'll put up your bow, and spare these creatures, leave them in peace, You have no need..." But her words were lost in the wind His eyes were fixed on a queen And all he saw was a woman And all she was, was a dream... Oh oh...And all he saw was a woman, and all she was, Was a dream... He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her to his castle he did ride; in the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower and he threw her deep inside; then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry, brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down, Tears on the ground... All through the days on her face he would gaze, for she was lovely as the spring; no words would she speaketh but "Leave them in peace", and some sad lament she would sing, Oh one day by the door, through the window he saw A single white feather lying on the floor. She was there no more... Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying for the love of a girl; for many an hour he has wept on the Tower for she meant more than the world; and once in the sky, a white bird flew by, he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain "Come back again..." But his words were lost in the wind, His castle was built upon sand, All he has is THE MEMORY, And all he yearns is her hand... Ah ah..All he has IS THIS memory, And all he yearns is her hand. |

I'm chasing a shadow, I can't see a thing,
It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing, And every time I get near it just seems to slip away; There's a fighter inside who will never give up, We are what we are and it's never enough, Write the words in the sand that this man will come again; You may run from the sea, and the words disappear, Oh you may fall to your knees, But the power is here, to survive; It's shining again, It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man; Ah remember the first day of man on the moon, The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune, It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you; Oh look back to the future and look down the years, It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears, We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream; We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky, Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life; It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man; And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have, Yea we work - aha - for the family and home, Yea we work - aha - for the D-Mark and the dollar, Yea we work - aha - for the woman on the phone, Yea we work - aha - for that moment of elation, Yea we work - aha - for a chance to get away, And we work - aha - just to let imagination, Come inside and take me away; We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky, Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life; It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man, It's shining again - the spirit of man. |

I have seen the diamond stylus
Cut a groove from north to south Heard them calling from the islands for a better day One by one they tell their stories One by one it's just the same They've taken our leaders And all our believers are paralized Now we can't turn back... Somebody is watching you Don't turn round Yesterday is gone! And even the children are waking at midnight in tears.... Mother mother mother...... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Looking out my bedroom window I remember early days When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away But now the shadow of a gunman With his balaclava eyes Is making the news Calling out the warnings on the telephone You're in the line of fire Wish there was another way Line of fire Anything goes And who is the winner and what will the minister say At the end of the day? Never never never..... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Mother mother mother.... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, do not weep It's only the sound of a world on the run You're hearing the sound of a gun |

I was walking down that road, to the place that was my home, And the memories of a life go on forever, Here's the village, here's the sea and here's the place where it began, When i found myself in the arms of lady madonna, And then i listen for those footsteps, coming down the hall, A father to his young boy, who was hurting from a fall, You must have heard me crying, you must have dried my tears, But you know, i just can't remember, just can't remember, The son and the father, the son and the father; Now i'm walking with my boy through the place that is our home, And the memories of his life are growing forever, And i'm looking through his eyes at all the wonders of the world, Then hand in hand we will make this journey together; And we will talk of men and pirates, and heroes in the dark, I will tell him of the hungers and the mysteries of the heart, And i will always hear you crying, i will always dry your tears; And i pray you'll always remember, always forever The son and the father, the son and the father... |

I can see you now by the light of the dawn, And the sun is rising slow, We have talked all night, and i can't talk anymore, But i must stay and you must go; You have always been such a good friend to me, Through the thunder and the rain, And when you're feeling lost in the snows of new york, Lift your heart and think of me; There are those who fail, there are those who fall, There are those who will never win, Then there are those who fight for the things they believe, And these are men like you and me; In my dream we walked, you and i to the shore Leaving footprints by the sea, And when there was just one set of prints in the sand, That was when you carried me; You have always been such a good friend to me, Through the thunder and the rain, And when you're feeling lost in the snows of new york, Lift your heart and think of me; When you're feeling lost in the snows of new york, Lift your heart and think of me, Lift your heart and think of me. |

And give me a drink of wine, I've been travelling on this road, For such a long long time, I have seen the wonders, But most amazing of them all, I believe I've seen the face, Of the risen Lord; On a night like this there came, A stranger on the road, I saw him stumble, heard him fall, I helped him with his load, The further that we walked, Well the heavier it became, And I believe I've felt the weight, From another world... |

I cannot sleep tonight, i have you on my mind,
Even the wind is calling your name, Though you are far away, i feel that you are near, Whispering words from over the sea, And if you wake in your night,remember that i will be here; And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with the dawn, I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm, And like the same moon, that's shining through my window here tonight, I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light. Where there is love like this, forever, for all time, I will be there, wherever you lie, And where there are hearts that live together in one soul, Nothing on earth will keep us apart, And if you're crying inside, remember that i will be here; And like the same sun that's rising on the valley with the dawn, I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm, And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight, I will watch in your darkness, and bring you safely to the morning light; I love you, i love you, i love you; And if you're crying inside, remember that i will be here; And like the same sun, that's rising on the valley with the dawn, I will walk with your shadow and keep you warm, And like the same moon that's shining through my window here tonight, I will watch in your darkness and bring you safely to the morning light; Same sun, same moon, Same sun, same moon, Same soul, same heart, Same world, same stars - you will be forever in my world; Same sun, same moon, Same sun, same moon, Same soul, same heart, oh, i love you i love you i love you, Same world, same stars - you will be forever in my heart. |

I feel the wind blowing through my doorway,
It's telling me that the summer's gone, And the winter waits in shadow, waiting with the storm; I am old and my bones are weary, And my son he is all I have, But he has gone to fight for freedom, leaving with my heart; All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands, But can this freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground, Can this freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? Oh oh oh.... I watched them sail from the rocks below me, 'Twas like the sea in its endless rage, Many fall on the road to freedom, dying on the stones; All my life I have loved this land, worked it with my hands, But can your freedom send the rain when seed is in the ground, Can your freedom heal the pain and bring my boy back to me again? Oh oh oh.... Late last night, as the world was sleeping, I dreamed my boy, He was calling out, 'cos he was lost in some dark forest, and Snow was falling down, falling on the ground......ooh..... |

He walked alone up the rocky road, To find the place, to read the stone, And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain, Where it would be; The lightning struck, and the thunder roared, As he lifted it up, In the name of the lord, And many waited for the new revelation, They are ready to go, they're going home; And the rivers of abraham are running free, With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny, To the garden of eden, and paradise, We will never be broken, and we will never die; We cross the bridge to the silver bird, And say goodbye to the ones that we love, No skies or oceans in the place we are going, Like seeds on the wind; The time has come, we shut the door, We are ready to go, in the name of the lord A world is waiting for a new destination, We are ready to go, we're going home; And the rivers of abraham are running free, With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny, To the garden of eden and paradise, We will never be broken and we will never die; And the rivers of abraham, are running free, With the dawn of a waking man and destiny, To the garden of eden and paradise, We will never be broken, We will never die, And the rivers of abraham are running free, With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny, To the garden of eden and paradise We will never be broken and we will never die. |

Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,
I can hear someone knocking on the door, There are voices in the street, And the sound of running feet, And they whisper the word- "Revolution!" There are men coming down from the valleys, There are tall ships lying off the coast, And they carry the light, In the dark of the night, Like a whisper in the wind- "Revolution!" Bring my gun and a handful of silver, By the sea we will gather for the fight, It's been so many years, so many tears, We have lost once before, Now we'll settle the score, When our cannons will roar- "Revolution!" |

I'd like you to meet my last queen,
over there large as life She's been hanging there for almost a week, my poor late wife; What do think of the colour of her skin, it has the bloom of the rose, You see she begged me to bring a certain painter in, and for that picture in her bedroom she would pose; Well after a while he was driving me mad, as you could well understand, Sitting in there, day after day, with my wife in the palm of his hand... It was - "Madam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such display, But he didn't mind he was taking his time, it was me that had to pay, "Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods, you understand it's the light", And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they, came back in the middle of the night, and I swear I'll take care of the painter, Oh the painter... Well as you can see it was hard for me, but something has to be done, She only has eyes for him and his lies, and as for me, not a glance, not a single one; My orders were severe and she disappeared, it really was such a shame, And when they told me she was dead I broke down and said, "It's that painter, it's him, he's to blame." With his "Madam please do this and Madam please do that", You've never heard such display, But he didn't mind he was taking his time, it was me that had to pay, "Oh Madam I think we should take a walk in the woods, you understand it's the light", And did I mind, no, I was so kind when they came back in the middle of the night, And I hope it's the rope for the painter, When he's found, it's hellbound for the painter, I'll get that painter... |

In the last moments of the dawn,
Before the day begins, before we say goodnight, Hold me now, kiss me now, My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching, At the thought of making love with you, Tonight, I would never dream that I would fall in love, And it would be with you, We're out at sea, just you and me, Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing, And your eyes are glowing with the light of love; There is no explanation why it should be this way, For you and me, must be destiny, And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue; With the last moments of the dawn, Could be the first day of my life with you; Hold me now, kiss me again, 'Cos my hands are shaking, and my heart is aching, As the dream of making love with you Comes true........... In the last moments of the dawn, the last moments of the dawn.... |

In the last moments of the dawn, Before the day begins, before we say goodnight, Hold me now, kiss me now, My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching, At the thought of making love with you, Tonight, i would never dream that i would fall in love, And it would be with you, We're out at sea, just you and me, Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing, And your eyes are glowing with the light of love; There is no explanation why it should be this way, For you and me, must be destiny, And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue; With the last moments of the dawn, Could be the first day of my life with you; Hold me now, kiss me again, 'cos my hands are shaking, And my heart is aching, As the dream of making love with you Comes true...........

from Chris De Burgh - Far Beyond These Castle Walls (1990)
Each time that I hold you, your eyes fill with fear,
You can't lose control now, the price is too dear; But love, I have heard you crying in the dark, And the tears on your pillow came bleeding, weeping from your heart; Oh Sinner, you're losing all that you had, Your day is in pieces, your night has gone mad, And love cannot touch you, the search has no end, And the one you've forgotten was really your only friend... Then your soul flies to Heaven You reach out for me But the door will not open, You've thrown away the key; No the door will not open, You've thrown away the key... Oh Stranger beware the life that you lead, Is filled with the warnings you can or will not read; Your castle has fallen, it lies in the sand, I heard your voice calling, I thought I felt the brush of your hand... Oh Gambler remember the love that you lend, Will never come back for the game has no ending; The smiler is calling, your turn for the deal, And the aces keep falling with every spin of the wheel; Then you gather your winnings, You're ready to leave, But the door will not open, You've thrown away the key Oh there's no point in staying, So don't wait to see, For the door will not open, You've thrown away the key. |

Go with love upon your journey, go with wonder in your heart,
May the light be there to guide you through the terrors of the dark, You have always been a good friend, but I won't know when you Have arrived, and I wish that I could see you one more time; There's a rainbow on the water, there's an eagle in the sky, Can you hear me up where you are, can you see me when I cry? You have left so much behind you, all the love you have given life, And I wish that I could hold you one more time; And they are always here beside us in a parallel point of view, And still they call, the ones who've gone before, Will you take me by the hand when I come through? You have left so much behind you, all the love you have given life, And I wish that I could hold you one more time; Yes they are always here beside us, in a parallel point of view, I hear them call, the ones who've gone before, Will you bring me to the light when I come through ? Go with love upon your journey, go with wonder in your heart, May there be someone beside you, who can hold you in the dark, When you get down to the river, don't pay him till the other side, And I wish that I could see you one more time, how I wish that I Could see you one more time. Go with love upon your journey. |

Let us talk no more, let us go to sleep,
Let the rain fall on the window pane, And fill the castle keep, I am weary now, weary to my bones, Weary from the travelling, And the endless country roads, That brought us here tonight, for all this weekend, And a chance to work it out, For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart, It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart; She is sleeping now, softly in the night, And in my heart of darkness she has been the only light, I am lost in love, looking at her face, And still I hear the voice of reason, Telling me to chase these dreams away, Oh here we go again, we're divided from the start, For we cannot live together, and we cannot live apart, It's the classical dilemma between the head and the heart, The head and the heart; Now the dawn begins, and still I cannot sleep, My head is spinning round but now the way is clear to me, There is nothing left, nothing left to show, The jury and the judge will see, it's time to let her go, Now hear the heart: I believe that time will show, She will always be a part of my world, I don't want to see her go; So I plead my case to hear the heart, And stay... It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go... It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go... It's time to let her go - I don't want to let her go... It's time to let her go... And in this classical dilemma, I find for - the heart. |

There once was a King who called for the Spring
For his world was still covered in snow But the Spring had not been, for he was wicked and mean In his winter-fields nothing would grow And when a traveller called seeking help at the door Only food and a bed for the night He ordered his slave to turn her away The girl with April in her eyes... Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow Hi, hi, hi, on and on she rides Someone help the girl with April in her eyes... She rode through the night till she came to the light Of a humble man's home in the woods He brought her inside, by the firelight she died And he buried her gently and good Oh the morning was bright, all the world was snow-white But when he came to the place where she lay His field was ablaze with flowers on the grave Of the girl with April in her eyes... Oh, oh, oh, on and on she goes Through the winter's night, the wild wind and the snow Hi, hi, hi, on and on she flies She is gone, the girl with April in her eyes |

Come to my door, meet me at midnight,
I can't wait anymore, and after midnight We must head for the town, Keep under cover till dawn With a bagful of wine; The night is alive, look in the shadows, Because now is the time, out in the shadows, To be somebody else, a complete transformation From the someone we are in the day; I hear a noise - there is something going on; I hear a voice - there is something going on; I see the boys - there is something going on; And something is happening to me, yea; I love the night, I love the night, I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight, I love the night, I love the night, I love to dance with a stranger and feel her delight, And when the dancing is through, I kick off my shoes, And I listen to the beating of my heart... After the fall, then came the hunger In the hearts of us all, ooh such a hunger That begins after dark, hides in the heart Like a wolf that is waiting inside; I see a light - there is something going on; It's getting bright - there is something going on; I look outside - there is something going on; And someone is calling to me; I love the night, I love the night, I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight, I love the night, I love the night, I love to be with a stranger and feel her delight, And when the morning begins, I have to get in Before sunlight can fall upon my face; I love the night, I love the night, I love the element of danger and the ecstasy of flight, I love the night, I love the night, |

Can you hear me, are you listening, has your programme disappeared?
I can see you, I am watching you, I've been planning this for years. I have blacked out you television, every station in the world is mine, And there are millions who are just like you as you sit there, paralysed! I have some orders which you will follow, and there's nothing you can do, 'Cos as you're looking at your T.V. screen, I am looking back at you... Oh side by side, We will cross that Great Divide, 'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye! Oh nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye... Turn your dial to the number that is shining on your screen, You will notice that everything is red, you won't need blue or green, All around me, fire is burning, yes I'm calling you from Hell, And all those people who haven't seen me yet, will soon be under my spell. Something's happening, sounds like thunder, maybe the Lord is on His way, He's still angry and He's after me since I cheated on the Spanish Train, Oh yes He's coming, and He could stop me, but He'd better make it soon, 'Cos the last time that I won a world, I made it into a moon... Oh side by side, We will cross that Great Divide, 'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye; Oh side by side, Forever we will ride, 'Cos nothing's gonna save you now from the Devil's Eye! I can see you, I can see you, I can see you... |

In the Ballroom of Romance, there's a rock band playing,
People swaying to the beat, swaying in the heat, In the corner over there by the door is a local casanova, Yelling for another scotch, "hey, steady on the rocks!" And when the girl walked in, a complete unknown, There was mass confusion, this beauty was alone, And then the room began to shimmer, Every heart was beating fast, Every man who had to win her, Was moving fast, they said, I'm ready, I'm ready for romance, I'm ready for romance is here at last; In the Ballroom of Romance, there's a young man waiting, Standing looking over at the scene, it could be you or me, Every eye in the room was watching as she walked over to him, Whispered "do you want to come with me, I'm heading for the beach." In her BMW 635, going smooth at 90, feeling good to be alive, And then the moon began to shimmer, Hey the sea was roaring in, Just one kiss and then his heart Began to sing, he said I'm ready, I'm ready for romance, I'm ready for romance is here at last; Hey the moon began to shimmer, And the sea was roaring in, The last thing I remember Was her kiss, I said I'm ready, I'm ready for romance, I'm ready, I'm ready for romance, I said I'm ready, I'm ready for romance, I'm ready for romance is here at last! In the Ballroom of Romance In the Ballroom of Romance In the Ballroom of Romance In the Ballroom of Romance I'm ready! Life goes on, same old song Life goes on, and love grows strong... |

Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend I want a friend to lay down beside me I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean when I say, that I need Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight Will you lay them on my shoulders Will you lay them on my eyes And I need tender hands to take me All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over I need tender hands to hold me through the night Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have Under the moonlight, reaching your heart Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows Where are you now, I want you now You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight Will you lay them on my shoulders Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise And then, when it's over, I need tender hands To hold me through the nights A am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight And I need tender hands, give me tender hands Will you lay them on my shoulders, o give me Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise And then when it's over, I have tender hands To hold you through the night, darling, My tender hands will hold you through the night I want your tender hands, you have tender hands I want those tender hands, tender hands |

Feeling the heartache, wondering why, I want a friend I want a friend to lay down beside me I want a friend, I want her now, someone who knows what I mean when I say, that I need Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight Will you lay them on my shoulders Will you lay them on my eyes And I need tender hands to take me All the way to paradise, and then, when it's over I need tender hands to hold me through the night Touch me with your velvet mouth, I will give all the love that I have Under the moonlight, reaching your heart Where are you now, where are you now, come out of the shadows Where are you now, I want you now You know that I cannot always be strong, and I need Tender hands to hold me, I need tender hands tonight Will you lay them on my shoulders Will you lay them on my eyes, and I need Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise And then, when it's over, I need tender hands To hold me through the nights A am only a voice in a city of noise, can you hear me this time I see the storm grow, there's a light in the desert tonight And I need tender hands, give me tender hands Will you lay them on my shoulders, o give me Tender hands to take me all the way to paradise And then when it's over, I have tender hands To hold you through the night, darling, My tender hands will hold you through the night I want your tender hands, you have tender hands I want those tender hands, tender hands |

from Chris De Burgh - Man On The Line (1993)
Every now and then I hear a song I used to know,
Playing late at night on radio, And I remember when the schooldays finally had to end, We were neatly wrapped and sent off in a row; To be champions of the world, We can take on anyone, Nothing's going to keep us from the door; We're taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we are, We've come this far, We're taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we will, We've got the skill, We're taking it to the top, hitting them from the heart, Too late to stop, right from the start, Up to the top, giving it all we've got, To the top of the hill right now! Working on the window of a boardroom in the sky, Business men in suits go flying by, They're heading for the greatest day that they have ever seen, Selling bridges to the japanese; We are the champions of the world, We can take on anyone, Nothing's going to keep us on the floor; We're taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we are, We've come this far, We're taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we will, We've got the skill, We're taking it to the top, hitting them from the heart, Too late to stop, right now! Taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we are, We've come this far, We're taking it to the top - oh yes indeed we will, We've got the skill, We're taking it to the top, hitting them from the heart, Too late to stop, once we have started, To the top, giving it all we've got, To the top of the hill right now, right now! |

from Chris De Burgh - At The End Of A Perfect Day (1986)
Old man walking by the sea is dreaming,
Dreaming of the days when he was young, Hand in hand, a little boy beside him, Hearing about the weekends under the sun... "Ah most of all I remember, A little song we used to play, It was about the english weather, Always raining on a sunny day, and it went Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again, And it's getting wetter, As a matter of fact it couldn't be better, For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee) Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down, On my umbrella above me, The very first time she said she loved me, Was in the summer rain, and it's fine with me... Walking with your great-grandfather's daughter, Somehow we were always late for tea, And small boys making mischief in the water, Watching deck-chairs floating away out to sea, Ah but now the memory's fading, How the past just slips away, But every time that it starts raining, I can hear the band begin to play, Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again, And it's getting wetter, As a matter of fact it couldn't be better, For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee) Ah la la la, summer rain is falling down, On my umbrella above me, (above me) The very first time she said she loved me, Was in the summer rain, and it's fine with me, me, la la la Summer rain is fine with me... Ah la la la, summer rain is pouring down again, And it's getting wetter, As a matter of fact it couldn't be better, For baby and me, sitting on my knees, (with baby on my knee) Ah la la la..." |

Suddenly love
Comes in and finds me on open ground, Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, There's no turning back, And a journey has just begun; Suddenly love breaks down the doors, There is singing inside, And all of the light that's in your eyes, Shining here tonight, Has woken the man in me, And the woman in you, The woman in you; All night, heads on the pillow, And eyes that are never shut, All night, rain on the window, But inside, we have so much; Suddenly love Takes me away where I've never been, Shows me a world I have never seen, I could only dream, That I ever would find myself With a lover like you, A lover like you; All night, heads on the pillow, And eyes that are never shut, All night, body to body And thrilling to every touch, Oh, suddenly love Takes me away where I've never been, It shows me a world I have never seen, And I just want to be, Alone in your mystery, Love me over and over, And over and over again. |

from Chris De Burgh - Spanish Train And Other Stories (1985)
There's a Spanish train that runs between
Quadalquivir and old Saville, And at dead of night the whistle blows, And people hear she's running still... And then they hush their children back to sleep, Lock the doors, upstairs they creep, For it is said that the souls of the dead Fill that train ten thousand deep!! Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side, His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died, But above his head just a-waiting for the dead, Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye, Well God's not around and look what I've found, this one's mine!! Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light, And shouted at the devil, Get thee hence to endless night!! But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned, But there's no need to push me around, I got him first so you can do your worst, He's going underground!! But I think I'll give you one more chance Said the Devil with a smile, So throw away that stupid lance, It's really not your style, Joker is the name, Poker is the game, We'll play right here on this bed, And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet, The souls of the dead!! And I said Look out, Lord, he's going to win, The sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Oh Lord, he's going to win!.. Well the railwayman he cut the cards and he dealt them each a hand of five And for the Lord he was praying hard Or that train he'd have to drive... Well the Devil he had three aces and a king, And the Lord, he was running for a straight, He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades, All he needed was the eight... And then the Lord he called for one more card, But he drew the diamond eight, And the Devil said to the son of God, I believe you've got it straight, So deal me one for the time has come To see who'll be the king of this place, But as he spoke, from beneath his cloak, He slipped another ace... Ten thousand souls was the opening bid, And it soon went up to fifty-nine, But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did, and he said "that suits me fine, I'll raise you high to hundred and five, And forever put an end to your sin, But the Devil let out a mighty shout, My hand wins!! And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win, The sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line, Oh Lord, don't let him win... Well that Spanish train still runs between, Quadalquivir and old Saville, And at dead of night the whistle blows, And people hear she's running still... And far away in some recess The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess, The Devil still cheats and wins more souls, And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best... And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win, The Sun is down and the night is riding in, That train is still on time, Oh my soul is on the line, Oh Lord, you've got to win... |

I heard a voice so pure and easy, a songbird singing for me,
I had no choice, only to listen, and surrender to her world; And she will fly over the rainbow, She will walk in fields of gold, And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven, Will the angels cry like me? At first alone, then with hundreds around me, Enchanted by her song, But as the day is done, and the darkness is falling, The songbird sings no more; And now she flies over the rainbow, And she walks in fields of gold, And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven, Will the angels cry like me? And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven, Will the angels cry like me, will the angels cry like me? |

Peace and understanding is the wisdom of her world,
She loves without a reason, she gives without a word, There are those who make me smile, brighten up my day, But oh this woman she is something else again; All the nights I've ever known are waiting in her eyes, Sparkling like the silver, brimming like the wine, Other lovers laid me down, took my breath away, But oh this woman she is something else again, Oh she is a friend to me, Holds me in my tears, She said "Yes, you will be young again When you look back through the years"... So take your woman by the hand, love her till she dies, Be strong when she needs you, hold her when she cries, And if a man should say to you, love just brings you pain, You tell him "No, my woman's something else again, Oh my woman's something else again, oh my woman's something else again"... |

The hero says his final goodbyes, and there are tears in my lovers eyes
But it was just a film, make believe, they all get up and go home And now you're asking me why love can wither away and die Well I know, I know, that some things go, but some things never change Like the starlight, that is shining in your eyes Like a storm in a winter sky Like the moon on the tide Turning it again and again Like the way that I love you Some things never change Like the way that I love you some things never change The road is long and it's hard, I don't imagine for aminute it's not But I'll keep my loving for you, right down to the end The fire is blazing bright, we could sit here and talk all night And though this wood must burn away some things never change Like the starlight, that is shining in your eyes Like a storm in a winter sky Like the moon on the tide Turning it again and again Like the way that I love you Some things never change Like the way that I love you Some things never change. |

I'm lying here tonight, thinking of the days we've had,
Wondering if the world would be so beautiful, If I had not looked into your eyes, How did you know that I've been waiting? I never knew the world would be so beautiful at all; I'm spending all the days, dreaming of the nights we've had, I never knew that love would be a miracle, When I think of all the ones before, But now that I've found you I am flying, I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me, I never knew that love would be so beautiful to me; And when we dance to the rhythm that is burning like a flame, And when you touch me I can hardly move you take my breath away, You give me all that I want to feel when we become as one, And then you take me to the heaven of your heart; Did nobody ever tell you, you're the best thing that has ever been; Ah... you... ah... so beautiful... ah... so beautiful... I'm standing here tonight, thinking of the time we'll have, I never knew that you would be so beautiful, )From the day you came into my life, I just want to say, you make me happy, I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me, I never knew that you would be so beautiful to me; So beautiful to me... So beautiful to me... So beautiful to me... ...to me; I'm lying here tonight, I'm dreaming here tonight, I dance with you tonight... |

Good morning, Blue Rider, and how was your night?
Did you meet a nice woman, did she make you feel alright? I heard you came in from the country, looking for a good time. You walked round the hot spots, and you met some good friends of mine. Oh Mojo, come here, give my friend a glass of wine, strange flavour, That's right, it's a new recipe of mine- c'mon. Pull up a chair, I want you to hear, Have no fear and I'll tell you what goes on here. I pick people up off the roadside, and lift them high in the sky, There's no sense in walking on the wrong side, you gotta live before you die Anything that takes your fancy, you can have for free, Wine, women and dancing, but you've got to sell your soul to me, 'Cos once you are in, you'll never get out from Sin City, Sin City. Good morning, Blue Rider, and how was your night? Did you get the best deal from your body, did she make you feel alright? Well she did 'cos she's my friend...

My girl wakes in her bed of night,
Dressed in silver and dressed in white, She says she's having the strangest dreams, Of another time and century; And now she speaks of a far-off place, A woman and a man are in a deep embrace, Don't they know it's against the law, Well it must have been before the war, Long before; it was Real love and devotion - with sight and touch, Real love and emotion - with sight and touch, Real love and devotion, before the modern world; She hears voices in her mind, Talking of another world lost in time, Before they took away the words, That told us how we used to be, Our history; words of Real love and devotion - with sight and touch, Real love and emotion - with sight and touch, Real love and devotion, before the modern world; And now we live in a two by four, Never going outside through the door, They're watching us on the videoline, But we sit and wait until the night, And in the night, we have Sweet love and devotion - with sight and touch, Real love and emotion - with sight and touch, Sweet love and devotion, in such a modern world; We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch, We're never going to be lonely - with sight and touch, We're never going to be lonely in such a modern world... |

I was looking at a photograph Taken in a garden long before the war And out on the lawn There were old men and dogs and little children All of them gone forever And there were people by the waterside Standing in the same place where I am today Nothing has changed - but you know That time is moving like a river It can only be love forever We shine onbrighter than the sun Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone We shine onyou and me tonight Way across the universe Burning like a fire in the night There are those who can never cross The space between a father and a son When they are young We must say all the words that should be spoken Before they are lost forever And I was looking at a photograph Taken from a window way above the world And we've got to learn We must leave here a garden for our children When we are gone forever We shine onbrighter than the sun Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone We shine onyou and me tonight Way across the universe Burning like a fire in the night Leave here a garden for the children Leave here a new world In the nightin the night Burning like a fire in the night |

If you're out on a Saturday night, head downtown to the city lights,
They've got everything you're looking for, who knows what's behind that door, "D'ya wanna go where the wild men go?" "D'ya wanna come and see a dirty movie show?" "D'ya wanna do what the wild men do?" Well everything's right here in the Shadows and lights, on a Saturday night, If you're feeling a little bit crazy, In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night, Oh yes it is truly amazing... Take a walk down to old Soho, Chinese restaurant that I know, (Lee Ho Fung) Couple of ladies are hanging outside, down in the alley looking for a ride, "Little boy d'ya wanna come upstairs? You'll never get a better offer anywhere young man, Do you wanna do what the lovers do," Well everything's right here in the Shadows and lights, on a Saturday night, If you're feeling a little bit crazy, In the shadows and lights, it's a double delight, Oh what can you do to amaze me? Ooh the shadows and lights on a Saturday night, If you're feeling a little bit crazy, In the shadows and lights, on a Saturday night, Oh yes, it is really amazing... |

from Chris De Burgh - The Love Songs (1997)
Cherie, il est onze heures du soir
et tu me manques beaucoup; je pense ?toi toujours... toujours. At separate tables we sit down to eat, In separate bedrooms we go to sleep at night, I only wish you knew how much, You've been on my mind; I think about you when the morning comes, I think about you when all my day is done, Wondering what you are doing now, Are you lonely too? Because I - I miss you here tonight, And I wish you were by my side, And I don't want to let go; At separate tables we sit down to write, The separate letters that never see the light, If only we could just agree, To read between the lines; I want to see you and I know what I will say, We must be crazy to throw it all away, Never knowing what is lost, Before it's all too late; And I - I miss you here tonight, And I wish you were by my side, And I don't want to let go; Yes I - I miss you here tonight, And when I hold you by my side, Well I'm not gonna let go; I miss you, I really miss you... |

We took a boat over Lake Geneva.
It was raining all night long, We were lucky and we saw no enemy, And came from Switzerland poor refugees, Far from the guns of war, We said goodbye to it all; They brought us in to a nurse's station, Half a mile behind the lines, Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking, To see the children, and the walking wounded, Hoping for a ticket home, And say goodbye to it all; I woke up on a cold blue morning, To see her there, standing right beside me, Long years since I left her at the borderline, And how she found me I'd never know, But we decided there and then, To say goodbye to it all; Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all.... Took a train from Paris to the ocean, Found a small hotel by the coast, As we walked along the beaches of Normandy, We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold, And whispered a prayer for the boys, Who said goodbye to it all; Now we've got our own place by the water, And I have a job in the old hotel, She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter, Well I don't mind, we've made our choice. We've got all the time in the world, We said goodbye to it all, We said goodbye to it all. Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all. |

Took a boat over Lake Geneva, It was raining all night long, We were lucky and we saw no enemy, And came from Switzerland, poor refugees, Far from the guns of war, We said godbye to it all. They brought us in to a nurse's station, Half a mile behind the lines. Oh lord, how my heart was breaking, To see the children, and the walking wounded, Hoping for a ticket home, And say goodbye to it all. I woke up on a cold blue morning, To see her there, standing right beside me, Long years since I left her at the borderline, And how she found me I'll never know, But we decided there and then, To say goodbye to it all. To it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all ... Took a train from Paris to the ocean, Found a small hotel by the coast, As we walked along the beaches of Normandy, We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold, And whispered a prayer for the boys, Who said goodbye to it all. Now we've got our own place by the water, And I have a job in the old hotel, She's ready and she's hoping for a daughter, Well I don't mind, we've made our choice, We've got all the time in the world, We said goodbye to it all, We said goodbye to it all. 'Bye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye to it all, Say goodbye, Say goodbye ... |
